USGS Water-Year Summary 2024

02250030 TURKEY CREEK AT PALM BAY, FL

LOCATION - Lat 28°01'01", long 80°35'46" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, in SE 1/4 sec.26, T.28 S., R.37 E., Brevard County, FL, Hydrologic Unit 03080202, near center of channel on upstream side of bridge on Port Malabar Boulevard, 1.6 mi southwest of the intersection of U.S. Highway 1 and State Highway 516 in Palm Bay, and 2.0 mi upstream from mouth.

DRAINAGE AREA - 105 mi². approximately.

SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - February 1981 to September 1983, October 1983 to December 1986 (gage heights only), January 1987 to September 1988 (fragmentary), October 1988 to September 2006, September 2006 to April 2007 (gage heights only), April 2007 to September 2010, October 2010 to current year (filtered).

GAGE - Water-stage recorder, acoustic velocity meter, and data-collection platform. Datum of gage is 5.00 ft below NGVD of 1929 and 6.40 ft below NAVD of 1988. Prior to Oct. 1, 1986 at datum 5.00 ft higher.

COOPERATION - This gage is monitored in cooperation with the St. Johns River Water Management District.

REMARKS - Discharge not published some days due to bad or missing gage-height or velocity data. Streamflow at this site is significantly affected by astronomical tides. Daily mean discharge was computed from filtered unit value discharge data. The Godin low-pass filter was used to remove principal tidal frequencies from unit values. By convention, the U.S. Geological Survey has established ebb (seaward) flows as positive flow and flood (landward) flows as negative flows. The residuals are not total freshwater flows but are a combination of freshwater flows and water storage caused by higher and lower mean sea levels and storm surges from tropical storm events. Instantaneous discharge computed from index-velocity linear regression relation and gage height rating. Daily values of discharge and gage height are available online at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis.
